QUICK EASY BEER BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375F.
• Sift the flour first.
• Grease a 9x5 inch(23x13 cm) loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the beer and mix.
• Add the optional ingredients and stir into a gluey batter.
• Spread the batter into a well-greased bread pan.
• Pour the melted butter over the batter.
• Bake at 375F for approximately 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and no longer goey in the center.

YEAST BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, mix water and yeast. Stir until yeast is dissolved.
• In a large bowl, add beer, cream cheese, sugar, and salt. Pour in yeast and stir.
• Mix in 2 1/2 cups flour. Turn out onto a floured board and knead in remaining 1/2 cup of flour until dough is soft and smooth.
• Put dough in greased bowl and turn dough so that top is greased . Cover and let rise in warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Punch down dough with your fist. Turn dough out onto floured board and knead for about 1 minute.
• Preheat oven 375 F. Form dough into 1 loaf. Put into buttered bread pan. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 30 minutes.
• Score dough by cutting 3 slashes across top with a sharp knife.
• Put in oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn out bread and let cool on a rack or dish towel.

BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix dry ingredients and beer.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over mixture.
• Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
• UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
• Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
• I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
• The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
• Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.
